There are two bathrooms in my house—the small one adjacent to my bedroom that I share with Mr. Confessions and the larger one in the front of the house that my girls use as a hamper and hair repository.

On those occasions when I use their bathroom I can always count on finding a pile of damp towels that 7 Going on 17 is too short to hang up, discarded hair-filled rubber bands that didn’t make it to the trashcan, a counter covered in toothpaste and nail polish remnants and an empty toilet paper roll.

Lovely! (Now you see why I avoid this bathroom like the plague–someone must die!)

The other thing I can count on is a tub full of wet wash cloths, an empty shampoo bottle that doubled as bubble bath and Barbies. Now, this used to really piss me off…until one day I saw something new.

Sitting on the throne, I reached up and yanked back the shower curtain to reveal the leftover laziness from the night before. To my surprise and delight I saw the tub of disaster with new eyes. This is the day I realized there was an ongoing party happening in my girls bathroom and I became the paparazzi.

Random Barbie Porn posts were born and my perspective has completely changed.

Now, I make a pit stop in their bathroom regularly, in hopes that I will stumble upon the perfect shot. It won’t land me on the cover of TIME, but it puts a smile on my face and gives great joy to all those who appreciate my humor on social media.

TAKEAWAY
What if you looked at something that irritates the hell out of you in a whole new way? Looked for the good; for the opportunity. Perspective is everything!

Yes, perspective is everything, and looking for the good in everything and your example of barbie porn is an eye-opener! Funny how the innocence of a child can be disarming but can cause adults to chuckle for all different (wrong?) reasons 😀
